Care Group Director

We have 5 Clinical Care Groups, each with a Care Group Director (CGD), who leads their Senior Leadership Team (SLT). This is a serious opportunity for an experienced senior leader to take up this role at a pivotal time. The Children's Care Group delivers a wide range of high-quality physical and mental health services for children, young people, and their families across the Trust footprint.

The CGD holds day-to-day accountability for everything within the Care Group. This relies on a depth of experience; a candidate who is outcomes-focused, a data informed leader who strives to deliver on all the things the Trust are wanting to achieve.

All CGD are part of the Clinical Leadership Executive, which reports to the Board, informing Trust decision making.
